Shen Gui's natural appearance also immediately made Yan Chongwu angry!

"Can you come back to your soul and think about what I just said? The current Guo Xing is no longer the Guo Xing who was defeated in your hands back then! And the troops he led today are also the tripartite alliance of the Shenshi tribe, not the Pingbei army of the Northern Yan Dynasty! ”

Guo Xing...... Isn't it Guo Xing back then? What do you mean? Could it be that after Guo Xiao died, he recognized a father-in-law? Or did he marry someone else with the widow of his family? What's the name of my stepfather? ”

"Ahem!!"

Shen Gui listened to Wan Changning's cough, immediately rolled his eyes again, and after taking a deep breath of smoke, he explained to everyone helplessly:

"Your worries are pointless. Judging from the hand-to-hand situation in Taining County alone, Guo Xing is still the original Guo Xing, and today's Guo Xing is better to deal with than the original stunned Qing. No matter whether the soldiers he leads are Mobei people or Beiyan people, as long as he is the one who formulates the military strategy, then no matter how many people and how strong they are, there is no need to worry! Let's put it bluntly, Guo Xing's department seems to be menacing, but I haven't worried about the defense of Zhongshan Road at all; On the contrary, the part that really worries me is the cliché about the world's first heroic pass - East Customs. ”

Yan Chongwu and Gu Hui, a pair of civil and military partners, have always served near Jincheng, north of the East Customs; Therefore, they naturally have more say than anyone else in the affairs of the Eastern Customs. But when these two heard this, they glanced at each other, but they saw the same doubts in each other's eyes, obviously no one could understand why Shen Gui was worried about the East Customs.

Don't talk about alliance cooperation, don't talk about armistice agreements and other nonsense, just say that the Northern Yan Dynasty has a very bad life in its own family at the moment. Although the overlord of the Western Front of the Mobei Grassland, Mugel of the Golden Horde Alliance, is still standing still, and he has not been called up to lead the army to the south! But the backyard of the Northern Yan Dynasty has now ignited a sky-high fire!

Zhou Changfeng, Marquis of Xin'an, assumed the title of King of Qin, and colluded with the big and small golden boy Buddha who had been in trouble in Western Xinjiang for many years, and the whole army held high the black flag and wore black armor, and drove into Tongguan to stand by; As long as the bilateral talks in the Shendu Luojing have a final result, the Qin army will immediately leave Tongguan and the whole army will quickly go north to take Yanjing, the capital of the Northern Yan Dynasty.

Clear-eyed people know very well in their hearts that the so-called talks between the two sides in Luojing City are just nominal talks and a formality between the two sides. After all, the countless conditions for the withdrawal of troops offered by Zhou Changfeng, the commander of the Qin army, were all based on the primary premise that Emperor Tianyou personally issued an edict for sin, and after the sinful himself had passed, he chose to abdicate and make way for Xian. Therefore, although it is nominally a meeting, in reality it is just a necessary etiquette procedure for both sides to go to war.

Under this situation of internal and external troubles, the two norths are simply a pair of difficult brothers and sisters who are about to be destroyed, and they are even more bitter and bitter to each other, so how can there be an accident in the East Customs?

Wan Changning is really still the same Wan Changning with superior wisdom, after Shen Gui mentioned this, he immediately added with a little doubt:

"You mean to say that Zhou Yuanqing can't stop the Northwest Coalition Army at all?"

"Exactly. Although I don't know the real situation in the Northern Yan Army, their entire civilian echelon has long been rotten to the roots! The war between the two countries seems to be a war of arms, but in fact it is a war of attrition between the two sides. Zhou Changfeng father and son have been in the hinterland of Sanqin for many years, and Chang'an City is the first good area for merchants in the world. In this way, the overall situation of the decay and decline of the enemy Beiyan is not a fantasy. Moreover, with Di Ting's consistent style of acting, coupled with my understanding of Zhou Changfeng and his people, it must be behind the Northwest Coalition Army, Di Ting's figure is absolutely indispensable! ”

When Yan Qinghong heard this, he looked down at the geographical location of Tongguan marked on the map, and put himself in the perspective of Emperor Tianyou to speculate, and a cold sweat immediately broke out on his back.

Shen Gui is right, from the perspective of the country-to-country level, the strategy of war on the battlefield and the difference in the strength of the two armies can only be regarded as small gains and small losses; The real decisive battlefield between the two armies was actually a contest between the rear treasury and a contest of tacit understanding and trust between the civilian and military officials of the two sides in mutual cooperation. In this battle, no one will shed blood, let alone be wounded, and even the appearance of the enemy will not be known; But the two sides have wagered far more on this battle than any brutal battle in history that is known for its bloody brutality.

The winner is killed, and the loser has no bones.

The white rabbit is not as good as the new, and the people are not as good as the old. The original intention of this Yuefu poem is to persuade the world not to like the new and hate the old; However, from the perspective of the king's majesty, breaking the old and creating the new is a very necessary and standing means.

Why do the officials of Beiyan and Youbei have to conduct official evaluations every three years? Why did the officials in charge of the Nankang Dynasty have a maximum tenure of only eight years? Not long ago, Shen Gui was stationed in Xilin City, the place where Confucian scholars were stationed, and what he saw and heard was enough to illustrate the harmfulness of taking root. The stronger the roots, the more difficult it is to remove, the more extensive the implication, and the more difficult it is to heal the wound.

The two elders of the Northern Yan Dynasty are both hard-to-find auxiliary talents. But the thief is afraid of seeing the stolen goods, and the talent is afraid of seeing the double; Often, the more talented and gifted people are, the more stubborn their personalities are, and it is very easy to fall headlong into the horns.

These people are often intelligent and quick-witted, and they are not willing to cooperate with mortals at all, let alone accept the participation of a wise person who disagrees with their own opinions; Therefore, the first thing this kind of person does after taking power is often to put all his spirit on excluding dissidents and monopolizing power.

This is not only a desire for power, but also a necessary means of enforcing prohibition and concentrating power. The old people all say that there are thousands of families and one person in charge, and the same truth is true. But those who are kings, often in order to avoid the situation that the power of the ministers is high and the lord, or the imperial power is hollowed out by the wealthy family gatekeepers, will also take advantage of this human flaw to play a set of balancing measures called "imperial heart art". However, it is this kind of checks and balances that seems to be a good strategy for the king and the court on weekdays, which is beneficial and harmless; But once an external force invades and upsets the balance in one fell swoop, then the foundation of the dynasty will quickly fester, and the speed of collapse is definitely beyond anyone's imagination.

The basic structure of the Northern Yan Dynasty has been fought by Wang Fang and Cai Xi, two old foxes; The emergence of the Huashen Sect gave birth to an extra big poisonous sore on top of the already crumbling sick body. And the perimeter wind, which has been dormant for many years and is about to spread its wings and soar at this time, is an external force that has broken the balance. It can also be said that if the Northern Yan Dynasty is really as decaying and declining as it shows, then Zhou Changfeng is likely to not even need to fight a tough battle, and directly ride a high-headed horse, and lead the Northwest Coalition Army directly into the Yanjing Zijin Palace under the welcome of the soldiers and civilians along the way!

Even though the Northern Yan Dynasty and the Youbei Three Roads are covered with each other's blood; However, for mature superiors, the relationship between countries should only exist in a relationship of naked interests, and must not be swayed by personal likes and dislikes, grievances and entanglements.

The truth of cold lips and teeth, whether it is Zhou Yuanqing or Yan Qinghong, does not need to be reminded by others.

For Shen Gui, between Di Ting and him personally, there is a deep blood feud that is difficult to dilute with the water of thousands of rivers and rivers, and it is impossible to coexist in the world; And the ultimate goal of accumulating huge wealth through various means, there is no need for Shen Gui to think about it anymore, and the answer is placed under Lang Lang.

The reason why they will do their best to support Zhou Changfeng and Chaolu is, of course, not because of that kind of ethereal alliance! These two ill-intentioned conspirators are, at best, just selected dregs, and they are not even qualified to become pawns. For Di Ting, wealth has lost its original meaning; They chose to use the way of splashing gold and silver as bait to turn the entire Huayu Continent into a war-torn purgatory!

In the future, when the population is sharply reduced, the princes are war-weary, and the people are determined, the Nankang Dynasty, which has always been a cold observer, will intervene strongly, completely clear the world, calm the war, and reformulate the rules of the game in the world. Listening to these people, they want to re-establish a unified dynasty with the Nankang system as the basic structure in the ruins!

Whether it is Chaolu of the Shenshi tribe or Zhou Changfeng of Xin'an Hou who chases the dragon chair, they all think that they are doing their best to achieve great achievements. But their strength and intentions, compared with Di Ting's plan to restart Hua Yu, have a narrow vision and a narrow mind, which is really laughable.

So in the long run, every participant in the current war situation is just a dry piece of wood in the reconstruction plan. Including Beiyan and Youbei, no one has the qualifications to compete for the final winner.

This is not a conspiracy, but a naked conspiracy. Di listened to the gold and became a soldier, and without Fei Nankang, he used the silver earned from their pockets to arouse the ambitions of the heroes of all parties who had nowhere to place!

From Shen Gui's personal point of view, Diting's plan is really wonderful! Although this move will inevitably lead to the destruction of life and corpses in Huayu Continent; But after this battle, it is indeed possible to reunite the fragmented Huayu Continent, and can follow the route that Di Ting has gradually completed, and will soon get back on track. If you can get the predetermined result, then it may be worth it to endure a period of war and sacrifice the lives of a large number of people.

But how to calculate the exact price of a life? Who to sacrifice and who to preserve, and who should decide? Is it according to the medical examination method of picking livestock? Or is it according to the imperial examination method of intellectual selection? Or just draw lots and bet on illusory luck? Either way, it needs to be done by humans; Since there is the possibility of human participation, the so-called fairness has become a joke.

If the old and new worlds are trapped by man-made disasters; So what is the fundamental difference between the so-called Xinhua Yu and the current old Huayu?
